Hi guys this is my pride and joy, had her since July 2009. Most people call me Twig cause I'm thin as a rake, hence the plates. I am the second owner after my uncle who had it from new. Has been a country car hence to high k's. I bought it for $2000 but since then have spent $2200 having a new flywheel, clutch, engine mounts, spigot bearings, wheel bearing etc replaced. Another $2000 for a new bonnet, bumper, passenger quarter panel and headlight with respray after hitting a kangaroo in Feb 2010. Then $1700 after I had a minor incident and set off the air bag and twisted the K-Frame. Bad luck really. Unfortunately the paint work is covered in deep scratches because my uncle took it bush bashing before i got my hands on it :(. Also has a scratch on the passenger front from my mother hitting a gutter and a similar story on the driver side from my mate hitting a cafe. Don't lend my car to people after those incidents!!

But the manual is really fun to drive and gets me from A to B. Would love to fix it right up but I get my full licence in March 2012 so just going to save for a V8 instead.
Let me know what you think :)
